Where does Plex save recorded shows? On same drive as the install or can you choose another location? I also have a Synology NAS that I would rather use for storage if possible. Is it possible to use that external drive as DVR storage with Plex? I have a couple of questions too.įrom what I understand, the FLEX 4K is just a CONNECT 4K with a USB port for a external hard drive. I'd love to hear opinions from people who have this hardware and what you think. We are probably going to do a little recording with the Plex DVR (maybe a few shows) so I thought that would help keep file sizes and network traffic down. What do you think would be the better way to go? The FLEX 4K supports ATSC 3.0 and has four tuners, however the EXTEND supports onboard transcoding but has two tuners ( I think two may be enough, but don't know yet). I'm looking to get either the FLEX 4K/CONNECT 4K or possibly the EXTEND (discontinued, but found some on eBay). I've known about them for a long time, but am now looking at pulling the trigger on one and canceling my Sling subscription. If you don't want to pay $5/month, why not go for $40/year, or $150/lifetime? If your budget is $0, that's fine, but considering the cost of the rest of the setup (antenna, tuners, HTPC, etc), if someone can make the rest of my setup really shine with fantastic software, I think it's totally worth $40/year or $150.Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on what HDHomeRun device to get. Your HDHR3 tuners from 2010 won't work.įrankly, I'm more excited about this DVR system than I've been for any DVR software I've seen for years! Only recent HDHomeRun tuners are supported. The real time transcoding feature (for HDHomeRun Connect tuners) is indeed very experimental. They don't support live TV or watching in-progress recordings (not a huge problem for me, but I hope that feature is coming).Ģ. The guide and show metadata is really solid.ġ. It's functional, easy to use, and nice to look at.Ģ. And better than most other HTPC user interfaces that I've seen. Their UI is significantly better than the HDHomeRun DVR UI in most cases. So, I've had more time to mess with it.ġ.
